Chicago Bulls guard Anfernee Simons is scheduled to undergo additional imaging on his injured left wrist on Monday and will be examined by a hand specialist, head coach Billy Donovan said. The team is seeking a clearer understanding of the extent of the injury after Simons recently reported discomfort in the wrist.
Details on how or when the injury occurred have not been made public, and the Bulls have not announced a timetable for his return. The upcoming imaging and specialist evaluation are expected to guide the organization on next steps, including treatment options and any potential missed time. Until those results are available, the team is proceeding cautiously.
Simons, a key offensive contributor in the backcourt, has been an important part of Chicago’s perimeter attack with his scoring ability and shooting range. His role includes creating shots off the dribble, spacing the floor from beyond the arc, and providing secondary playmaking. Any extended absence could require adjustments to the Bulls’ guard rotation and offensive structure.
In the short term, the Bulls are likely to monitor his symptoms closely and may limit his on-court activity until medical staff and the hand specialist complete their evaluation. The organization has emphasized player health and long-term readiness, and the decision to seek further imaging reflects an effort to fully assess the injury rather than rush him back to action.
Donovan did not offer a specific update on Simons’ availability for upcoming games and indicated that the team will wait for medical input before making decisions about his status. The Bulls are expected to provide further information once the imaging results and specialist consultation are completed.
For now, Chicago will prepare for the possibility of adjusting minutes and roles among its other guards and wings, depending on how long Simons may be limited. The team and fans alike will be watching for updates on his condition as the Bulls look to maintain stability in the backcourt while prioritizing his recovery.
